Among the more than a dozen disciples of Yuanjue, if you talk about martial arts, it is naturally Huiqing who is the highest, and if you are smart and clever, you are the first to recommend Huijing. It's just that if you say who is the most timid, it must be Huiwen first. She is only 15 years old and was originally the daughter of a farmer in Wangmiao Village. When he was nine years old, a flash flood broke out, and the whole family was swept away by the flood, except for Huiwen. Yuan Jue saw that she was pitiful, so he took her into the Bitter Happiness Nunnery. When the water was turbulent, Huiwen's father fought for his life and pushed her to the roof, but he was swept away by the water, and what Huiwen was most afraid of was water. She listened to Yuanjue's words and involuntarily took a few steps back. It's just that although I was far away from the waterhole, I felt a chill coming from all directions. The waterhole was so green that it made people panic, and there seemed to be a big hand hidden under the water, which would reach out at any moment and drag people down.

Huiwen looked at the turquoise pool, the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, she couldn't help but shudder, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, this, it's so cold here!"

Situ Qiao snorted and said, "It's not cold, it's yin." If my guess is right, there are quite a few deaths in this pool. ”

Yuanjue clasped his hands together and said in a trembling voice: "Amitabha." The poor monk heard from the predecessors of Wujiguan that after the two ferries on which the Yandang faction was riding were swallowed up by the waterhole, more than a dozen good men of the Xianyan Gang across the Yangtze River jumped into the waterhole and wanted to dive under the water to save people. The Xianyan Gang lives on the bank of the Yangtze River, helping everyone to be proficient in water, and it is naturally foolproof to have them go into the water to save people. It's just that after these dozen or so good hands entered the waterhole, they fell silent. At the beginning, the leader of the Xianyan Gang didn't care, and said to the leaders of the various gangs present that the members of the Xianyan Gang were proficient in water, and some could hold their breath underwater for more than an hour. Yandang sent dozens of people into the water, and these Xianyan gang members must have been busy underwater for a while, but it is not surprising that they did not return for a while. It's just that the good men of the gangs waited on the shore for two hours, but none of them returned to the shore.

"Among the Xianyan Gang who went into the water to save people, one of them is still the only son of the gang leader. Seeing that the crowd had not yet come out of the water after two hours, the gang knew that something terrible had happened underwater. He loved his son very much, and despite the dissuasion of other gang leaders, he brought five or six of the most powerful gangsters in the Xianyan Gang to jump into the water. But they went and never came back. The martial arts people of various gangs saw that the leaders of the Xianyan Gang were trapped in this pool, and which one dared to go into the water. After some deliberation, several dignified heads of families immediately ordered the evacuation of the waterhole and the departure along the stone cave in the cliff. ”

When Yuan Jue said this, he let out a long sigh, and then said: "There are a total of more than one hundred gangs in the rivers and lakes that participated in the First Battle of Wujiguan, including almost all the famous martial arts figures in the north and south of the country. It was because of this waterhole that it swallowed up the Yandang faction and the Xianyan gang that everyone in the rivers and lakes knew about it, and since the first battle, no one in the rivers and lakes dared to cross this waterhole to go to Wujiguan. It was because of the Wuji Temple that he did not rebuild the ferry, but used the stone cave dug by the Demon Sect as the only way to the Wuji Temple. Therefore, if we want to go to the Infinite Temple, we don't need to pass through this waterhole again. ”

Situ Qiao suddenly said: "Listening to what the master said, there are no more than sixty or seventy people in the martial arts of the Yandang Sect and the Xianyan Gang who died in this pool. It's just that in my opinion, there are more than so few unjust souls in this pool. ”

Hui Jingqi said: "Mr. Situ, can you calculate how many people died in this pool without seeing the corpse?"

Situ Qiao said with a smile: "Whether there are ghosts in the world, no one has seen them with their own eyes, so naturally they can't talk about it." It's just that after death, the aura disappears, leaving behind a cold body. Little nun, I think you've seen corpses too, you might as well think about it carefully, standing next to the corpse, do you feel cold?"

Huijing said: "That's nature. It's just that most of it is to scare yourself, but it's not a big deal. We worship the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, and with the blessing of the Buddha, there are evil ghosts, and we are not afraid. Amitabha. ”

Li Qiufeng listened to Huijing's miscellaneous words inexplicably, and his heart was a little funny. Huiqing was a little disgusted that Huijing opened her mouth, glared at her, and then said to Yuanjue: "Master, we don't have much water left, can you get some water in this pool......

Before she finished speaking, Hui Ming exclaimed, "Senior brother, so many people have died in this pool, how can we drink the water in this pool?"

Huiqing said: "That was hundreds of years ago, what is there to be afraid of? We have the blessing of the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and naturally turn evil into good fortune." I don't know if the road ahead is good or not, if there is no dry food, it can be supported for a few days. But without water, we're in big trouble. ”

Huiming didn't dare to say anything more, but he was not convinced, and whispered a few words to Huijing. Huijing pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head at Huiming, signaling her not to argue with Huiqing. She was idle, and when she saw a wooden stick more than two feet long at her feet, she picked it up, squatted on the shore and gently stirred it in the waterhole. It's quite interesting to watch the waves rippling layer by layer.

But I heard Yuanjue say: "Although we are disciples of the Liberation Sect, we don't talk about those gods and ghosts. It's just that the Buddha also said not to swallow dirt. After we climbed the cliff, we walked a short distance and there was a large waterfall, so we didn't have to worry about the lack of water. Let's hurry as soon as possible, we have to get to the Wuji Temple before the evening......"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard Huijing scream, and threw herself into the pool. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Qiufeng had reached the shore with a little right foot. It's just that Huijing's body has already flown up, but it seems that a big hand grabbed her and dragged her straight into the pool. Li Qiufeng grabbed the ankle of Huijing's right foot with his left hand and pulled it back hard. It's just that Huijing's attack is extremely fierce, and Li Qiufeng is afraid that he will hurt Huijing by pulling strongly, so he only uses one percent of his strength. But in this way, he can't compete with the force that pulls Huijing. Not only did he not pull Huijing back to the shore, but he was pulled by the force and took a step towards the waterhole.

Between the lightning and flint, Yuan Jue and the others did not react, but watched as Huijing and Li Qiufeng were dragged towards the waterhole by an invisible big hand.

Seeing that Huijing's body had flown above the water, he was about to fall into the water. And Li Qiufeng didn't dare to use all his strength, but he was also dragged to the shore. At this time of crisis, he saw Li Qiufeng flick his right hand, and a copper coin shot out, hitting the wooden stick in Huijing's hand. I only heard a "click", and the wooden stick was broken in two. Li Qiufeng only felt that the force that dragged Huijing suddenly disappeared, and his hand was light. Seeing the opportunity, he pulled back with all his strength with his left hand, and immediately pulled back Huijing, who had fallen to a foot above the water.

Yuan Jue and the others woke up like a dream, and when they saw Huijing's body leaving the water, they breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't know that Huijing's body had just risen into the air, only to hear a "bang", the water surface suddenly churned, and a black shadow jumped out of the water, and chased after Huijing.

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, he didn't expect that there was an enemy hidden under this water. At this time, he was standing on the shore with his feet on his feet, his whole body leaning forward, and his left hand was pulling Huijing backwards. Seeing that the situation was critical, his right hand shook, and two copper coins shot out again, hitting the black shadow directly. At the same time, he stepped back, trying to pull Huijing back from the water to the shore.

Hearing only the sound of "click", Huijing only felt a pain on the top of her head, and couldn't help screaming. It's just that Li Qiufeng rescued with all her might, and she only felt that her body was dragged back like a fog. By the time she came to her senses, she had already stood on the shore.

I heard a "bang", and the black shadow had fallen back into the pool. I saw the water splashing on the water, and the black shadow had disappeared into the water. After a while, the water calmed down as usual, and there were no more ripples, as if nothing had happened. It was just that something slowly rose from the water, but it was the half of the wooden stick that was broken by the strong autumn wind that floated up from the bottom of the water.

Huijing was shocked for a while, and when he saw Yuanjue, Huiqing, Huiming and others surrounding him, he remembered Fang Cai's situation. Her body trembled for a while, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Yuanjue's arms, just called "Master", and immediately cried, whimpering and saying, "Master, Master, I, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!"

Situ Qiao walked to Li Qiufeng's side, looked at the unfathomable turquoise pool in front of him, but was also a little frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, do you see who it is?"

Li Qiufeng didn't answer, just stared at the wooden stick in the pool. After a while, he turned his head and looked around, and saw a dead branch on the ground not far away, so he walked quickly and picked up the dead branch, and walked back to the shore, and carried the half of the stick to the shore with the dead branch.

Li Qiufeng picked up the wooden stick in his right hand and put it in front of his eyes to watch carefully. But he saw that one end of the wooden stick was covered with bite marks, as if it had been bitten by sharp teeth.

Li Qiufeng turned his head to Situ Qiao and said, "That's not a person!"

Situ Qiao was stunned and said, "It's not a person?

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "That's not a person, it's not a ghost, it's a fish!"

Situ Qiao was startled, thinking back to Fang Cai's situation, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "Although I didn't see the black shadow clearly, I saw that it was more than a zhang long. Although this waterhole is not small, it is not a big lake or sea, how can there be such a big fish? Not to mention how can there be black fish in the world?"

Li Qiufeng said: "I don't know if there is such a big black fish in the world, but I was on the shore just now, and the distance was much closer than Mr. Situ. ”

When he said this, he heard Huijing whimpering and crying, and turned his head to look. But I saw that the top of Huijing's head was dripping with blood, and I didn't know when she was injured. Huiqing hurriedly took out a gourd from his arms and wanted to treat Huijing's wound. Li Qiufeng walked over quickly, only to see Huiqing take out a clean cloth and gently wipe the blood off Huijing's head. Huijing was frightened at this time, although Huiqing was extremely careful, every time he wiped it, it was also painful and terrifying. It's just that Huijing was afraid that the master and his classmates would worry, so he couldn't say a word.

Li Qiufeng looked at the wound on the top of Huijing's head, and saw two blood marks stretching from the middle of her Tianling Gai to her forehead, although the wound was not deep, but she was a female nun with lost hair, and this wound looked quite shocking.

Li Qiufeng turned his head to Situ Qiao and said, "I can now conclude that this monster in the waterhole must be a fish, a man-eating fish!"
